Bluetooth™ is a low-power wireless networking standard which uses short radio waves to allow electronic  
devices to communicate with each other without using cables.  
The following applications are supported by Bluetooth™ technology:  
• Synchronize your Bluetooth™ PDA with your computer.  
• Send your business card to anyone who has a Bluetooth™ device.

other Bluetooth devices.  
• A Bluetooth client - these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth servers.  
Most Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client, and can often do both at the same time.

Operation  
What is “Pairing ?”  
Pairing is a Bluetooth™ function that enables Bluetooth™ devices to remain permanently linked to another.  
What “Pairing” means in terms of security?  
The Pass Key authentication is perpetuated in Pairing, meaning that devices will not ask for a Pass Key once  
they are paired. Paired devices will remain linked, even if other paired devices are turned off. Once a paired  
device turns back on, it is ready to be used and service requests will not ask for the Pass Key again. The  
Built-in 128 bit security encryption of Bluetooth™ assures the privacy of your paired devices.  
Note: If devices are unpaired, it is necessary to enter a pass key each time a service request is made from or  
to another Bluetooth™ device.  
34  
 
Operation  
Pairing Devices  
1. Right-click on the Bluetooth™ device and select on “Pair device”.  
2. Enter a Pass Key when asked.  
Note: The Pass Key on both devices must be the same!  
Example: If Device 1 tries to pair with Device 2, Device 1 will prompt for a Pass Key. Enter any Pass Key.  
Device 2 will then ask for a Pass Key. Enter the Pass Key, which has been set for Device 1. Done!  
3. The device is now paired with your computer.  
Unpairing Devices
